Let me make sure my linux-n00b mind understands this correctly. I should
boot off of a bootable usb of other distro, access the filesystem, make
the changes I need, shut everything down, and then save-nand?

sounds great, except I have always had a lousy time making usb sticks
bootable. maybe I'll get it write this time.

thanks again,
